Gap Dresses Wall Street in Free Denim

In efforts to push and promote Gap's new premium denim line 1969, the retailer gave 1,200 pairs to Wall Street traders for free...and it looks like it paid off!

Jean Retailer Installs "Butt Cam" in Dressing Rooms


Forget the 3-way mirror...how about a "rear-view" camera! Australian jeans mega-retailer Jeanswest, recently installed cameras in its dressing rooms...legally of course. The camera was properly named the "butt cam" and was created to give customers a better idea as to what their butt really looks like in jeans. Jeanwest CEO Stephen Young recently stated, "It's important the jeans look and feel great and the Butt Cam provides the ultimate 'check point' moment in the fitting room." Don't worry, there are no peeping toms here...the camera does not record any images and is only installed in the communal area of the fitting room, not in each individual dressing room. So this is how it works...The person puts the jeans on, comes out into the main fitting room area, places their bum in front of the camera, and viola...your goods are broadcasted live on a large television for your viewing pleasure! These cameras could come in handy when your shopping gal pal isn't around and you need a second opinion. These high-tech dressing rooms can be found in Jeanswest stores throughout China and Australia. No word yet on the butt-cams making a U.S. debut...I''ll keep you posted!

Alex Wang 2010 Menswear Collection a Big Bore!

I just watched a preview for Alexander Wang's 2010 Men's Collection and I must say it was a TOTAL bore. Yes, it is less flamboyant and more straightforward, but it lacks the creative edge that is Wang! I hope this isn't a preview of what is to come for his Women's line! Take a look, and decide for yourself!

The Rachel Zoe Collection will make its debut during fashion week next month and later on QVC in October. I assume the prices will be budget-fashionista friendly, so that's cool with me!
